The untrained mind keeps up a running commentary, labeling everything, judging everything. Best to ignore that commentary. Don’t argue or resist, just ignore. Deprived of attention and interest, this voice gets quieter and quieter and eventually just shuts up.

I loved the story about your daughter.Unfortunately hate is a trait that children are taught because they are born without any.To ask for forgiveness and friendship is the sign of the better person.
@nordicboy If all rules have exceptions then even the rule that states that all rules have exceptions must have an exception, or the rule is proven false. But if it does have an exception the rule is also proven false, because then there is a rule without an exception, which is what the rule is saying cannot exist.
"Never" is too strong. Sometimes you need to change the goal. I would never tell someone who has tried, but failed, to commit suicide: "If the plan doesn't work, then change the plan. Never the goal."
JC you have post some wise words to live by in these last few posts. There are many who tear down people but in fact it is them that are torn. Be well be safe .
